This is awful, the birthrate is going to plummet in San Francisco. Everyone who's been there knows how under-crowded it is.

That's going to go over well with California. Challenge state authority. Why not wait?

Not with a bang, but with a whimper...

Well, you'll oppose it if California legalizes it, too, so as far as you're concerned, what's the difference?

Well of course the city by the bay (Sodom on Sea) will be destroyed in an earthquake, be cleansed by the sea, and then the Rapture will sweep all the believers up leaving the rest of us to have a whole lot more fun when the killjoys aren't around any longer.

England had a parliamentary theocracy and a military theocracy and it weren't any fun people. Unfortunately a lot of their adherents decided to move to the colonies on Charles II's return to join their 'fun' loving brethren and sustren, which is why the United States has the likes of Falwell and Oral Roberts today.

Perhaps they could be persuaded to build their New Jerusalem on Mars?

And ruin the fun that could be Mars?

No, if there must be an intelorant hellhole in this Earth, let it be the Bble belt. At least, the other parts of the world would be free of their antics

No better idea than to wed old people, who have probably been waiting for this for a -very- long time

Edit: 51 years says the article. To say they could have been celebrating their golden aniversary alrady

DFloyd:

I'm a fundamentalist Christian, so who cares what I believe anyways?

Doing something like this in this matter is going to piss off the folks to my immediate left, who want to have a say.

Do it this way, and you will not have the support of the people of California behind you, especially considering the legislature already passed a bill against this just 4 years ago.

Again, very poor show, that they have to impose this on the people of California rather than soliciting their support.

Yeah, whatever. I wonder how Arnie is going to handle people violating California law.

Oh come on, this isn't going to change anyone's mind for the worse. If you were against gay marriage before, you would be upset. If you were for it, you would be happy. If you were sitting on the fence, it helps some people realize that the gay stereotype of young and polygamous is lame and not true, and perhaps gays aren't as different as insecure Christian bigots make them out to be.

You arnt imposing your will on anyone when your rights have been violated. This is simply a way to get your rights unviolated.

Now Schwartzenegger has a direct challenge to his authority in San Francisco. It will be interesting to see what action, if any he takes.

Any speculation on to what will the effects be depending on his decision?

I can see three options.

1. Quashing this civil disobedience.
2. Doing nothing
3. Supporting the civil disobedience, and legalising gay marriage across the state.

**Ben Kenobi** · February 12, 2004, 19:20

your rights have been violated.

What right?
